Well, the Mandrake boot automatically switches to show you the console output
if any error shows up, so you don't have to do anything. Seems like the
best of both worlds for most people. (Of course I still like listening to
my modem dial and connect so what does that say about me?)

On my mandrake boxes, the friendly frenchies feel it's the correct thing -
boot up with no clue of what the heck is going on. I yank out bootsplash as
soon as I can. And then I turn on the framebuffer and make sure it boots at
1024x768 at least.

I like being having a GUI boot that I can revert to the CLI, ala BeOS. Most of the time I don't need to see a huge amount of burningly white text on a black background, but its useful for debug purposes

But not having a 1024x768 framebuffer is a crime. And that is why I
stopped using FreeBSD.
